Thrive not Survive
WANT, BELIEVE, THRIVE by Sarah Mayo As I sit here with the task of writing a blog on stepping out of your comfort zone, I’m inspired by the words of Napoleon Hill who said “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Just writing and reading these words gives me that

Meaningful Connections
Community Matters by Nicky Morgan Whenever I come to write a blog there’s always a funny circumstance that occurs which helps to get my story started. Today it’s been WIFI, or as it turns out, a lack of WIFI. Today I’ve been working from home – something I tend to do a couple of times

Move More Mindfully for Mind, Body, Soul – Part 1
Every Step Counts by Sarah Mayo I’ve long been interested in “exercise”, but that’s what I would now call “formal” exercise… My interest in exercise is now more about movement, specifically, regular movement, as opposed to formal exercise per se… and I’m a huge advocate of “free” movement as much as possible… there’s so much
